Something as useful as the 'B ark' from The Hitchikers Guide...ect.
... "I mean, I couldn't help noticing," said Ford, also taking a sip, "the bodies. In the hold."

"Bodies?" said the Captain in surprise.

Ford paused and thought to himself. Never take anything for granted, he thought. Could it be that the Captain doesn't know he's got fifteen million dead bodies on his ship?

The Captain was nodding cheerfully at him. He also appeared to be playing with a rubber duck.

Ford looked around. Number Two was staring at him in the mirror, but only for an instant: his eyes were constantly on the move. The first officer was just standing there holding the drinks tray and smiling benignly.

"Bodies?" said the Captain again.

Ford licked his lips.

"Yes," he said, "All those dead telephone sanitizers and account executives, you know, down in the hold."

The Captain stared at him. Suddenly he threw back his head and laughed.

"Ah, now don't misunderstand me," said the Captain, "we're just one of the ships in the Ark Fleet. We're the 'B' Ark you see. Sorry, could I just ask you to run a bit more hot water for me?"

Arthur obliged, and a cascade of pink frothy water swirled around the bath. The Captain let out a sigh of pleasure.

"Thank you so much my dear fellow. Do help yourselves to more drinks of course."

Ford tossed down his drink, took the bottle from the first officer's tray and refilled his glass to the top.

"What," he said, "is a 'B' Ark?"

"This is," said the Captain, and swished the foamy water around joyfully with the duck.

"Yes," said Ford, "but ..."

"Well what happened you see was," said the Captain, "our planet, the world from which we have come, was, so to speak, doomed."

"Doomed?"

"Oh yes. So what everyone thought was, let's pack the whole population into some giant spaceships and go and settle on another planet."

Having told this much of his story, he settled back with a satisfied grunt.

"You mean a less doomed one?" prompted Arthur.

"What did you say dear fellow?"

"A less doomed planet. You were going to settle on."

"Are going to settle on, yes. So it was decided to build three ships, you see, three Arks in Space, and ... I'm not boring you am I?"

"No, no," said Ford firmly, "it's fascinating."

"You know it's delightful," reflected the Captain, "to have someone else to talk to for a change."

Number Two's eyes darted feverishly about the room again and then settled back on the mirror, like a pair of flies briefly distracted from their favourite prey of months old meat.

"Trouble with a long journey like this," continued the Captain,"is that you end up just talking to yourself a lot, which gets terribly boring because half the time you know what you're going to say next."

"Only half the time?" asked Arthur in surprise.

The Captain thought for a moment.

"Yes, about half I'd say. Anyway - where's the soap?" He fished around and found it.

"Yes, so anyway," he resumed, "the idea was that into the first ship, the 'A' ship, would go all the brilliant leaders, the scientists, the great artists, you know, all the achievers; and into the third, or 'C' ship, would go all the people who did the actual work, who made things and did things, and then into the `B' ship - that's us - would go everyone else, the middlemen you see."

He smiled happily at them.

"And we were sent off first," he concluded, and hummed a little bathing tune.

The little bathing tune, which had been composed for him by one of his world's most exciting and prolific jingle writer (who was currently asleep in hold thirty-six some nine hundred yards behind them) covered what would otherwise have been an awkward moment of silence. Ford and Arthur shuffled their feet and furiously avoided each other's eyes.

"Er ..." said Arthur after a moment, "what exactly was it that was wrong with your planet then?"

"Oh, it was doomed, as I said," said the Captain, "Apparently it was going to crash into the sun or something. Or maybe it was that the moon was going to crash into us. Something of the kind. Absolutely terrifying prospect whatever it was."

"Oh," said the first officer suddenly, "I thought it was that the planet was going to be invaded by a gigantic swarm of twelve foot piranha bees. Wasn't that it?"

Number Two span around, eyes ablaze with a cold hard light that only comes with the amount of practise he was prepared to put in.

"That's not what I was told!" he hissed, "My commanding officer told me that the entire planet was in imminent danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star goat!"

"Oh really ..." said Ford Prefect.

"Yes! A monstrous creature from the pit of hell with scything teeth ten thousand miles long, breath that would boil oceans, claws that could tear continents from their roots, a thousand eyes that burned like the sun, slavering jaws a million miles across, a monster such as you have never ... never ... ever ..."

"And they made sure they sent you lot off first did they?" inquired Arthur.

"Oh yes," said the Captain, "well everyone said, very nicely I thought, that it was very important for morale to feel that they would be arriving on a planet where they could be sure of a good haircut and where the phones were clean."

"Oh yes," agreed Ford, "I can see that would be very important. And the other ships, er ... they followed on after you did they?"

For a moment the Captain did not answer. He twisted round in his bath and gazed backwards over the huge bulk of the ship towards the bright galactic centre. He squinted into the inconceivable distance.

"Ah. Well it's funny you should say that," he said and allowed himself a slight frown at Ford Prefect, "because curiously enough we haven't heard a peep out of them since we left five years ago ... but they must be behind us somewhere."

He peered off into the distance again.

Ford peered with him and gave a thoughtful frown.

"Unless of course," he said softly, "they were eaten by the goat ..."

"Ah yes ..." said the Captain with a slight hesitancy creeping into his voice, "the goat ..." His eyes passed over the solid shapes of the instruments and computers that lined the bridge. They winked away innocently at him. He stared out at the stars, but none of them said a word. He glanced at his first and second officers, but they seemed lost in their own thoughts for a moment. He glanced at Ford Prefect who raised his eyebrows at him.

"It's a funny thing you know," said the Captain at last, "but now that I actually come to tell the story to someone else ..."

Something as useful as the 'B ark' from The Hitchikers Guide...ect.

Ford licked his lips.
"Yes," he said, "All those dead telephone sanitizers and account executives, you know, down in the hold."
The Captain stared at him. Suddenly he threw back his head and laughed.
"Oh they're not dead," he said, "Good Lord no, no they're frozen. They're going to be revived."
Ford did something he very rarely did. He blinked.
Arthur seemed to come out of a trance.
"You mean you've got a hold full of frozen hairdressers?" he said.
"Oh yes," said the Captain, "Millions of them. Hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, management consultants, you name them. We're going to colonize another planet."
Ford wobbled very slightly.
"Exciting isn't it?" said the Captain.
"What, with that lot?" said Arthur.
"Ah, now don't misunderstand me," said the Captain, "we're just one of the ships in the Ark Fleet. We're the 'B' Ark you see. Sorry, could I just ask you to run a bit more hot water for me?"

An end to the madness of a planning process which is measured in decades, not years or months.

We need a decent leisure centre. We need homes for people to live in. And we need them now. The idea of waiting years in case some hypothetical perfect plan might be submitted is the problem. How about the council setting a deadline for plans to be submitted and making a decision on the basis of the best plans submitted?

Sounds like a good idea. Prices would be expected to be dearer than the king alfred but people will pay more if its good quality pool and facilities.

Sport and Leisure facilities as we are sadly lacking in top class venues, above all an ice rink as we haven't had a decent skating venue since the old Sports Stadium in West St shut 50 odd years ago...I don't count the tiny on that used to be in Queens Square which was useless for serious skaters. Come on council, pull your collective fingers out

So 'the man behind plans' for the King Alfred site doesn't actually have any plans as he wont pay for them - you couldn't make it up!!

As for the idea theatinterested groups pitch ideas to the council this is exactly what was done previously and rather than choose one of the relatively low-rise alternatives that were in keeping with the neighbourhood the council chose the Karis/Gehry monstrosity!!

Well, at least the financial crisis had one silver lining!!!

Foremost something attractive and iconic and soon with great views planting and lighting as it will be there for a long time to come way after this downturn ends. not boxy cheap and bland. A performance space/art gallery with restaurant, sports and pool facilities as planned. boutique hotel and some high end apartments, not 400 as that would mean high rise and site is too small.

Look you lot, the council want this area to generate 400+ council taxes with residential parking fees and the added benefit of parking fines etc.

Any leisure facilities (only those that are required by law) will be available to Hove residents if they travel into Brighton. £4.80 return per person by bus unless it goes up again

This is a management issue and if the company contracted to manage the King Alfred facility is allowing what you report then the council needs to hear about it or if you can't manage that, tell your councillors or the King Alfred area councillors who are Andrew Wealls and Christopher Hawtree.

Make them earn their allowance.

The article starts by claiming Starr has given up his dream for the King Alfred and then quotes him saying he wants:

"South Bank facilities with leisure for Hove”.

This IS the original dream! No change in principle.

The difference between the Starr offer and all that's gone before (or seems on offer otherwise now) is that Starr wants to start and run an entertainment/sports
-led business of significant stature at King Alfred and put the buildings in place to achieve it.

The City Plan, soon to be adopted, REQUIRES 400 units of housing on that site which saveHOVE supporters do not agree is appropriate. Benidorm covered its seafront in towerblock flats and look at it now. A dumpl. No class.

We remain, as with the Karis/Frank Gerhy offering, firmly against towers on any part of the seafront and especially at King Alfred.

There was a question at December Full Council from the Tory Leader that produced a time line. BHCC is aiming at September for a decision on a preferred developer.

BHCC has cheap borrowing powers not available in the past and it should be considering a joint venture with its preferred developer. This MIGHT mean a better facility and fewer units of housing.

It is NOT in the city's interest to give the job to a hit and run developer. It IS in the city's interest to give the site over to a developer who intends to remain on site and run a business there.

The City should part-pay for a redevelopment there and continue to own and run some part of it and partnering is all the rage dontcha know. The council is in partnering arrangements for ever increasing areas of its remit and workload.

Starr is the only one saveHOVE is so far aware of whose interest in the site matches this ideal - all the rest are bog standard hit and run developers in it for the big bucks and out, albeit with some sort of centuries long lease of the land.

A developer with a vested long-term interest in the site is the best hope for its viability. That means the Council and one other. Who will it be?

Jason Kitcat answered my recent public question on whether BHCC would consider part paying towards a development in a partnership or selling the site:

"We are open to offers".

What Starr is asking is unprecedented. And the public is challenged to cough up useful ideas - preferably within his general wish to see a Southbank kind of facility on that site - for content and use of the site.

Please do not let the council have any input in the redevelopment unless you want a council estate with cheap boxy flats with upvc windows and a rubbish sports hall. This has to be a private developer to deliver the best possible building for this prime site.

If the council insist on accommodation then that will be part of the plan whoever develops it. So if it's going to be there, then at least make the whole thing a community hub with decent leisure facilities, a cafe/bar/restaurant and good quality entertainment facilities including a cinema space, theatre space and studios for workshops and classes.

In terms of design, it should be possible to build something iconic and at the same time sympathetic to the area Making the most of the seafront location without being overbearing.

Crawley built the K2 without putting housing on top and Mid Sussex built the Triangle in Burgess Hill with covering it in housing.
It's true there is a need for more homes here in Brighton and Hove so it's probably a price worth paying. Please just don't try to repeat the obnoxious Karis idea of unsightly and out-of-scale towers scarring a relatively beautiful seafront.
Note how Portzed, just along the road, was much more modest in scale but was turned down last year for being out of scale. The height of the buildings opposite the King Alfred would be a good guide as to what is reasonable.
It would be great to see a 50-metre pool in Hove and for there to be space around it to be used flexibly - for sports or arts - like many school halls.
Let's hope the council has the sense to go with Rob Starr who has a vision and appears to be listening. Traditional developers could learn a great deal from his approach.
